  • Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health
    Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at The University of Waikato by HEATHER ANNE CAME _____________________________________ 2012 ABSTRACT Institutional racism, a pattern of differential access to material resources and power determined by race, advantages one sector of the population while disadvantaging another. Such racism is not only about conspicuous acts of violence but can be carried in the hold of mono-cultural perspectives. Overt state violation of principles contributes to the backdrop against which much less overt yet insidious violations occur. New Zealand health policy is one such mono- cultural domain. It is dominated by western bio-medical discourses that preclude and under-value Māori,1 the indigenous peoples of this land, in the conceptualisation, structure, content, and processes of health policies, despite Te Tiriti o Waitangi2 guarantees to protect Māori interests. Since the 1980s, the Department of Health has committed to honouring the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Māori-settler relationships and governance arrangements. Subsequent Waitangi Tribunal reports, produced by an independent Commission of Inquiry have documented the often-illegal actions of successive governments advancing the interests of Pākehā3 at the expense of Māori. Institutional controls have not prevented inequities between Māori and non-Māori across a plethora of social and economic indicators. Activist scholars work to expose and transform perceived inequities. My research interest lies in how Crown Ministers and officials within the public health sector practice institutional racism and privilege and how it can be transformed.

  • Americas Cup Leverage Report
    New Zealand Trade and Enterprise – America’s Cup Leverage Programme Report 2014 34 th America’s Cup – New Zealand Inc. Leverage Programme “More than anything, the America’s Cup leveraging program has given us the opportunity to change peoples’ perceptions about New Zealand. Too often peoples’ views of New Zealand is it’s a sauvignon blanc and sheep country. The America’s Cup program proves we’re more than that, and while we do have the best sauvignon blanc and our sheep taste good, we are also a very smart, capable, and high-tech country full of innovative people. The America’s Cup allows us to convincingly get that message in front of people, including VIPs and political and business elites, more than any other international event.” - Leon Grice, New Zealand Consul General “People remember experiences. The America’s Cup Leveraging Programme in San Francisco has given us an opportunity to create an experience that people remember. When you can extend invitations to spend a whole day out on the water, it’s a real experience that people enjoy and remember. Every person we’ve taken out, whether they be from Google or Apple or other important spaces, have said that it was a great experience. Just the other day we had a woman tell us that is was one of the greatest days of her life. To have a positive impact by creating an experience that people remember, it really helps us develop good, meaningful business relationships. The America’s Cup gives us a great point of reference that we share with them, and the leveraging program has really been fantastic for companies like us to make a good impression on potential partners.” – Paul Cameron, Booktrack “For New Zealand, the America’s Cup has always been about much more than just winning a race.

  • Ownership and Governance of Ōhiwa Harbour (Aotearoa New Zealand)
    SHARED LANDSCAPES: OWNERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE OF ŌHIWA HARBOUR (AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND) By Tanja Rother A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Social Anthropology Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract This thesis explores narratives of property and ownership in natural resources, particularly common property resources such as the foreshore and seabed. Using the Ōhiwa Harbour as a case study, I investigate property relations between Māori, Pākehā and official agencies in respect to the natural environment in an evolving ‘third space’ in Aotearoa New Zealand. In this space, conflicting narratives on the ‘ownership’ of common property resources hold centre stage. This research addresses a gap in the literature concerning everyday Māori- Pākehā relations in owning and governing natural common goods, taking both the community and local government levels into account. Its principal questions are: How do property relations inform people’s capacity to act collectively across cultural meanings? How might intercultural communities utilise legal pluralism to facilitate decolonisation in natural resource governance? Can nature be given the agency it is sometimes declared to have? Overarching these and other research questions is an investigation of how far commoning has progressed in the case-study area and whether this might form the basis for new developments for the concept of the commons. Informed by theories relating to both the commons and institutions which embody collective action, I employ a three-layered approach to property that distinguishes cultural ideologies, legal-institutional frameworks of rights, and actual social relationships and practices. I show that this mixed theoretical and empirical approach can be usefully tested through in-depth ethnographic fieldwork.

  • The Provincial and Gold-Rush Years, 1853-70
    3. The Provincial and Gold-rush years, 1853-70 Numbers New Zealand experienced a series of major events during the period 1853-1870, which greatly affected immigration. One was the coming of limited self-government with a quasi-federal structure in 1854 and which left to provinces responsibility for encouraging immigration. They did so with a series of schemes. Another was the New Zealand Wars which brought soldiers and military settlers once more to New Zealand. Third, there were important economic developments – the growth of extensive pastoralism and the discovery of gold. Both also attracted people to these shores. The result was a dramatic expansion of New Zealand’s non-Maori population, from almost 27 000 in 1851 to almost 98 000 in 1861 and 255 000 a decade later. Net migration was a major contributor, and indeed over the period 1855-1870 contributed 70.7 per cent of the increase in New Zealand’s non-Maori population (Graph 1). Graph 1: Annual increase of non-Maori population, 1855-70 40000 35000 30000 25000 Natural increase 20000 Net migration 15000 10000 5000 0 1855 1856 1857 1858 1859 1860 1861 1862 1863 1864 1865 1866 1867 1868 1869 1870 year 2 Graph 2: Annual immigration to New Zealand, 1853-70 50000 45000 40000 35000 30000 Gross 25000 Net 20000 15000 10000 5000 0 1853 1854 1855 1856 1857 1858 1859 1860 1861 1862 1863 1864 1865 1866 1867 1868 1869 1870 year Graph 2 shows the gross and net immigration to New Zealand by year from 1853 to 1870. For the years 1853-60 the net annual inflow remained at relatively low levels, although net arrivals began to increase towards the end of the decade, in good part a reflection of the first inflow into Auckland under its land grant system, the first influx of Canterbury’s assisted immigrants, and the first gold miners, attracted by the discoveries in Nelson’s Aorere Valley.
